Below, our Executive Director, António Dias Martins, explains the purpose of the program and why we included Web Summit Rio in this adventure.

“Expanding into international markets is imperative for startups that are born in our country and accompanying their internationalization process is one of the main missions of Startup Portugal. With the growing interest that we have registered in the Brazilian market in the technology and innovation sectors, we have high expectations about the potential of the Brazilian economy for our startups. In addition, Brazil is an unavoidable source of talent and funding that can be fundamental for startups and scale ups established in Portugal”.
